This study assessed the use of conformation and fatness scores of the EUROP sheep carcass grading system to predict weight and percentage of salable meat from Brazilian market lambs. Data were collected from in vivo, carcass, and retail production from 252 uncastrated lambs. Evaluated models included single regressions, two multivariate models, and one determined by the stepwise procedure. Conformation was moderately correlated with weight of salable meat. Fatness scores were correlated with rump perimeter, carcass width, and thoracic depth with […]

The objective of this study was to evaluate different models in the adjustment of weight gain (WG) responses, obtained in an experiment carried out with ISA Label birds from 1 to 28 days of age. A total of 480 male and female chicks were distributed in a completely randomized design, in a 4 X 2 factorial arrangement (lysine levels X sex), with three replications of 20 birds each. The basal diet was formulated to meet the chick requirements, except for […]
